I'm So Excited!!

Those who know me, know the title statement is an expression of my most common emotion. I get excited over just about anything. Some would say that indicates my dire need to have a life, but I think it indicates just the opposite....I think I live my life to the fullest extent and experience it with sumptuous splashes of feeling. I think it is a rich way to FEEL life!

So by now you wonder what has me all astir this afternoon....I know I posted already this morning.... I made my favourite marinade (recipe at the end of the post) for the roast while I was contemplating what I should have for lunch....and THEN I found left over chicken fingers and fries in the fridge!!! BONUS!! That sure beats a sandwich and satisfies my craving for deep fried comfort food.

And I have to tell you about the greatest invention EVER. I LOVE those jars of chopped garlic you can buy in the produce section! Here comes the recipe....it works well in the crockpot (put roast on low first thing in the morning before you go to work....marinade it the night before in a bowl inside a ziploc bag!). But it works well in the oven too. Today I'm trying to slow roast it (since I decided to have roast today and not last night....)but you can use your regular magic method too.

1/4 C vegetable oil
4 cloves (or 2 big teaspoons) of garlic finely chopped
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp soy sauce (I use a lot more, 1/4 C & sometimes ketjap manis)
1/4 C red or white wine vinegar
1/4 C dry sherry or apple juice (I use any wine or any juice, and have a swig first)
